Well I'm back from a nice four-day weekend. I had a great time at Laguna and spent some time along the coast as well. Took the family and had a very relaxing time indeed. The race certainly could have been better. In fact, it nearly was a cracker. Some thoughts:
I so enjoy seeing (well mostly hearing) these machines in person. Everyone should go when they have the chance. But this year I could clearly hear traction control being used all over the place.
Hayden in particular had his TC dialed WAY up. But I was proud of his ride on Sunday.
It is unreal to see (and hear) where these guys are whacking open the throttle when leaned over. My mind cannot quite comprehend it.
Me thinks Bridgestone may have needed a softer right side compound. Yikes, there were some moments in qualy!
Stoner is tough...
Pedrosa and Lorenzo to.
The crowd was good, but not huge.
Kawasaki, please give Marco Melandri some support.
Tony Elias seems to know that there is only one seat left at Gresini for next year...
Note to AMA, you couldn't run a mini-bike race for 10 year olds. That's not the way to run a race when the international press are in attendance.
